    3.5 ghz turbo core off 

    min:31

    max:35

    average:33.5

    4.3 ghz turbo core off 

    min:36

    max:42

    average:39.7

    thats 18,5% increase with 22% increase on my cpu bear in mind  +-5% margin of error i can't stop people from moving around **Only uploaded images may be used in postings**://secondlife.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif" border="0" alt=":smileyhappy:" title="Smiley Happy" />

    so after 2 weeks + of waiting the mugen 3 arrived !!! yay happy etc etc .... but what the hell is this mounting system ? took me 2,5 hours  to install it thank god i managed it i was getting really desperate ! so with a  wide smile on my face i realised that i was 18 celcious bellow the factory cooler ... ok time to overclock ! more or less right now i am at 4,3 ghz and 5 celcious below the factory cooler ...  so my oc stops here ... didn't even need to add extra voltage :) anyway i promised i will test sl default speed  and after oc so here we go :)

    FPS drop

    67 celcius for gpu is very good really no worries there

    now i see you have a lot of ram 8184 MB   so i guess you will not miss 1 gb the slow downs could be due to the cache getting fragmented you can make a ramdisk of the size of 1184 and set 1gb cache there why 184 mb extra ? so windows will not  start spamming you that your space on that hard drive  is low .... now ram disk will give you more fluid experience and possibly more stable fps here you can find instructions how to make ramdisk just ignore this guy target to put windows cache there and make a smaller  drive of 1184 mb good luck !

    Tips on making SL run well using wifi?

    what people responded pretty much is right ... now if your problem is low signal you can buy a usb adapter those cost like 15-20 bucks and their antela is a lot stronger than the build in on laptops laptops normally have really weak antenas so that might help you a lot and does not cost that much really

    mugen 3 is what i am waiting but is out of stock curently i also ordered 2nd pair of fan clips since i have an extra 12 cm fan sitting around left over from my old pcs ninja 2 :)  well the if i stress with prime  my cpu now with intels default coller hits 75 celcious :P  

     

    i am not targeting 4,5-4,6 ghz witch is the limit for the cpu i am targeting for a "safe" 4- 4,2 ghz

     

    just call the shop 1-2 weeks ..... at least is not something that i am in desper need ^^

    well as i sayd you shoud not see diference if you move to a ramdisk from an ssd to ramdisk

    my previews pc setup was phenom 2 x3 @ 3,3 ghz with 4 gb ddr 2  on windows 7 32bit and the gtx 460 that i use now also
    and hd drives no ssd .... so i made a ram disk 768 mb and i tossed  the cache there 700 mb set in size just to be safe :P

    so my fps did not improuve but sl was more fuild  the problem was getting better when i was defraging my hard drive but after 2-3 days again i had the same problem and i was really bored defraging so often on high trafic areas when i was spinning around my camera checking at people etc reading profiles  ... the time i was spinning the client was  freezing for 1-2 seconds really often like 2 times in 10 seconds and often crashes in a ration of like once in 1 - 1/2  hour ... when i moved the cache to the ramdisk i had no more 1 second freezing and less crashing into desktop 

    i will test the overclocking that thats a promise :) but right now over my cpu sitting the default intel cooler witch i am not willing to do overclocking with :P 

     

    about the 3770k and the gtx670 you did well to buy em ... i highly recomend someone to not build a pc just for sl  :)
    hyperthreading can be a real benefactor on video editing and programs that using it  as for the gtx 670 can give a lot of years of maxed out gaming :)

     

    right now i have 8gb ddr3 ram but 3 of em is ramdisk 2gb for windows swampfile and 1 gb for sl cache ...what can i say i am a freak trying to save even a little bit on my ssd  lifetime ...witch i guess is not needed but on the other hand i have hard time utilizing more than 3-4 gb of ram so i have no loss using my ram that way :P

    well actually the ivi bridge is the refresh of the sandybridge and clock to clock  you have around 5-10% more perfomance ... not a big deal  between the i5 and the i7 the only diference is that  i7 have hyperthreading witch seems to not affect second life at all  also i5 have 6 mb instead of 8 mb of l3 cache witch in general does not seem to slow down a bit i5 cpus ... so the 2 best cpus for your buck you can have are actually the i5 2500k and i5 3570k  ...now to increase perfomance fearther than that  i guess you can buy a cooler and push your cpu to 4-4,2  witch is kind of "safe" with a good cooler  but again do not expect miracles :P    also if you want wait  for me to do it .... i am just waiting for my cooler to arrive but is still not available  ...

     

    hmmm well sl is not only about fps you can increase the "Smoothness "  by making a ramdisk and moving your texture cache there that made my experience way more smooth when i had only hdd drives  if you have an ssd i guess you are already good on the matter

    is the same architechture really  some even from the same batch  procecors are not designed to run on a specific speed thats why you can overclock em intel set em depending on witch state they are meeting the tdp example 77 watts and also where is really safe and guaranty it will run ... well i am still waiting a cooler for my i7 when that comes i will do a comparison from 3,5 to 4 - 4,2 depends where i will feel safe ...    on high settings with 30-40 people front of me i dont get bellow 30 so i guess i will not get a lot more than 20 on ultra my self ...also what i noted is that 8 gb kit  at 1600 mhz costs 50 euros give or take the 1866  and 2133 kits can be found around 70-80 euros in a sale so those might worth  if you are going after a new rig    but sure not worth to cheap out and go for a 1333 kits witch cost like only 5 less euros if not the same .... and yes my cpu on the tests at any scenario never even passed 50% neither my gpu had max  load  at any scenario

     

    what i believe is that sl just can't utilize the muscle of a modern card since it  is based on a code writen back on 2003-4 and they just adding stuff  updating as much as they can but still the engine remains old

    sl does not benefit  from beast cards   but trust me sl loves mhz  i have the cpu i7 3770k  reducing it's speed to 2,5 ghz from 3,5 reduced the fps count close to 30% thats why i say sl loves mhz  just check my tests i posted the link on my last  post ^^

     

    and ofc 2500k is not a bottleneck  is a great cpu and there is nothing really you can buy that will significant speed up sl really   maybie 2-3 % if you got to 3570 but not worth it   ^^

    Why all the lag

    what viewer you use ?  when i was on phenom 2 x3 i had way better overall perfomance on 1.xx viewers than 2.xx and 3.xx ones try singularity viewer might be better for you ...

    also a program that might benefit you is game booster 3 is a free program so worth a shot ... no promises thought

    if you have the http get textures disable that for me it really speeds up the rezzing proccess

     

    if you can overclock a bit your cpu and ram might benefit you a bit  "warning: overclocking might damage your hardware especially with out propper cooling "
